Infrastructure Robotics Research at the University of Leeds

Abstract

Increased population growth and continued urbanisation will necessitate novel, bold, and revolutionary approaches to infrastructure inspection, maintenance, and repair. This will likely be done by swarms of autonomous robotic systems. The University of Leeds is quickly establishing itself as a leader in the field by taking part in two ambitious infrastructure robotics projects - Self-Repairing Cities and Pipebots. Here we present an overview of these projects, as well as two outputs from them - an Asphalt 3D Printing drone, and a wirelessly powered pipe inspection robot.
